Two sides who recently put an end to their respective losing streaks last time out clash at the Mandemakers Stadion on Thursday when FC Twente visit RKC Waalwijk.
The away side also have a league double over their hosts in sight following a 2-0 victory in November's reverse fixture.

RKC Waalwijk played out an entertaining 3-3 draw versus VVV-Venlo on Saturday to snap a run of four consecutive defeats.
In a crazy game at De Koel, Cyril Ngonge scored twice including an 84th-minute penalty to ensure that his side's remarkable effort on the day did not go unrewarded.
Fred Grim's men continue to hang on for their lives as they remain three points ahead of the drop zone with two games left.
They will want to secure their safety as soon as possible with a visit to Feyenoord awaiting them on the final day of the season.
Thursday's hosts were set to go down last season before the campaign got interrupted by coronavirus, and once again, they look to have beaten the drop.

Twente's run of league games without a victory is now up to 10 after a 1-1 draw with Heracles at De Grolsch Veste on Saturday.
Danilo found the back of the net with five minutes remaining on the clock to cancel out Mats Knoester's opening strike.
Like Waalwijk, Ron Jans's men also ended a four-game losing run courtesy of that draw, but their hopes of securing a European place are all but over now.
Nonetheless, Thursday's visitors have an opportunity to secure a first away victory at the hosts since 2012 when they picked up a 1-0 win.
